Hey guys...I finally got around to installing poly bushings for my CT sway. For a few weeks now, I've had a squeak in the rear suspension. I just figured it was the sway and just waited till today to fix it. But, after installing the new bushings, I still have the same squeak.

Its coming from the passenger side rear, and if I just push down a few times on the car I can hear it. The only other mod I have back there are the Tein's, but I really dont think this sound is coming from them. So I'm guessing its comming from one of the links? Any ideas on what might need to be lubed and where?

 

I had a similar problem with my 05 TSX, but I'm not sure if it is the same problem and I do not have any mods.

I dont think that sounds like the same problem. Mine is a "squeak" as opposed to a "pop" or "crack". Also, I can replicate it easily by just pushing down on the rear end, as opposed to going over an uneven surface. I can go over any bump (speed bump for example) and hear it.

Didn't your poly bushing come with silicone lube? It sure sounds like the D-bushing noise.

 

Bushings probably need to be lubed. I had the same exact sound that you seem to be describing. After the dealer lubed the bushings it hasn't come back.

 

Yea, and I used it. And the thing is, I replaced the old bushings with these new ones, so why would I still have the noise? I really dont think its coming from them...

 

The new bushings I installed came with very sticky lube, which I used.

I guess what I could do is just remove that bracket and bushing and see if I still get the squeak...I bet I wont though...

So back to my orginal question, is there any other parts of the rear suspension that might need lubing?

 

Did you ever figure out what that noise was? I just got a squeak last week and it wont go away, but I've had the Comptech sway since I got the car 3 years ago

 

Yea, its from my coilovers. The squeaking comes and goes. Seems to be coming from the top mount somewhere...

 

Hey Joe, what type of coilovers do you have again? When i had the Basics on my 04 the right rear top mount seem to squeak based on the temperature outside. I got some spray silcone spray and just sprayed the rubber top mount and that seem to quiet it down for about 2 weeks or so. I thinks it just the different type of material of the Tein's as compared to the Stock stuff that rubs the rubber. So spray it, or leave it i guess....
